b) Another idea is to count how many times I sneeze during this current allergy season. Unfortunately, it can be up to 30 times a day. I do not know how to record this, but an idea will come.
c) I work at Red Robin (home of the smiling burger. how may i help you?). We pride ourselves on getting hot food out to the table in 10 minutes or less. On one of my days off, I would like to just sit and watch the kitchen and servers interact to get the food out in time. Each order is printed on a ticket with the time it was sent into the kitchen. When the kitchen is finished making the food, they stamp the ticket time and send the food out. I will collect the tickets, record the times, and actually see how accurate the "10 minutes or less" goal truly is.
the first inspired the most 'oo, ah' reaction, because it takes such a mundane and maybe annoying process and makes it poetic... it also places you in an interesting sensory space, with dripping water, etc. the record would, while being a record, become something more... transcendent. all are worthy however, though with the second, indeed, the pressure would be on documenting it in a way that communicates well...we can continue to brainstorm next week, if you like this one the best as you continue to think about it, how you depict the data can come later. i just wonder if you would get bored after a day or two of documenting your sneezes. red robin idea also strong, i like the investigative aspect of it! but do you want to go to work on your day off? just a thought. :)
